When you can walk down the street without fear, enjoying your surroundings and the kindness of the locals, you know the country is secure. Egypt has always been and remains one of the world’s safest tourist destinations. Furthermore, the safety of our clients is a deep concern in all of our Egypt tours and Nile Cruises packages. On every trip to Egypt, we present as “Egypt Travel Planners,” a local service provider in the travel business.
The success of your trip to see the pyramids and sail the Nile depends on when you visit the always charming country of the Pharaohs. It would be an exaggeration to call the sunny and whistling weather in Egypt “heavenly.” What you want to see and do during your stay in Egypt will determine the best time to go there. Traveling to Egypt during the high season between October and April is the best time to take a river cruise. The excellent weather and the few crowds make it easy to tour major archaeological sites such as the Valley of the Kings. Summer is the best time to visit Egypt if you want to relax at the seaside or swim in the Red Sea. In Hurghada, for example, the air temperature is about 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and the water temperature is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, both ideal for snorkeling and diving. Even though this is the hottest season in Egypt, coastal communities perform better than their inland counterparts. In particular, remember that July and August are peak travel months, and making reservations in advance is highly recommended. For those who like the quiet solitude of the desert, summer desert heat can reach over 140 degrees Fahrenheit, while nighttime bottoms in Siwa, for example, can dip below freezing. February – April, and September – November are ideal months to visit the deserts of the Pharaohs.
A tip for a good job is a custom in Egypt that expresses one’s satisfaction with good service. Recommendations are considered part of the income of the person accompanying you; we recommend leaving a tip when you can and being in person, although it is not mandatory.
Tipping in Egypt is very common and expected in many countries such as the USA, Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt, so you will hear the word “tipping” a lot “n Egypt” because Egyptians use it. To express thanks to everyone who provides a service for them, that is why while organizing your trip to Egypt, you should put the tip fee on the cost of the trip.
It would be best if you tipped at a restaurant, hotel, bar, Nile cruise, etc. You should offer money to the waitperson, driver, cleaning staff, and other workers for the service they render to you as a thank you for your part in caring for you during your tours and stay. You are the one who determines its value, and if you feel the service could have been better or more worth the money, then don’t flip them.
You don’t have to tip your tour guide, trip leader, driver, cleaning crew, drinkers, and all workers who give you excellent service.
There are famous markets and galleries in Egypt for travelers where they can buy real works of art before returning home to remind them of the good time in this country. It is not surprising that the prices of our souvenirs are often inflated, in the hope that someone will be tempted to buy – especially visitors from rich countries where price does not play a major role. But it is worth bargaining while staying in Egypt. This procedure is very common. A purchase can give us pleasure, only if its price is satisfactory.
Here are the best markets:
– Institutes of papyrus
– Perfume Bazaars
– Egyptian Cotton clothing stores
– Khan el-Khalili Bazaar
– Khayamiya Tent Market
– Modern malls all over Cairo that have all the famous brands
And many other markets.
The beauty and secret behind Egypt’s strong and persistent reputation as a great tourist destination mainly come from the diversity and multiplicity of things to do and places to see, among other factors such as warm Egyptian hospitality and great food.
Suppose you are looking for an adventure in the ancient world of the pharaohs and ancestors of the ancient Egyptians. In that case, your best bet is to visit cities like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Kom Ombo, and Abu Simbel, that host some of the major attractions like the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza, the ancient temples of Kom Ombo, Luxor and more. Another great alternative is a Nile cruise on the Nile cruise of your choice, which usually includes all of the sites mentioned above.
Suppose you are looking for a more central coastal experience with stunning beaches, clear sunny weather, and plenty of activities, including places like Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, El Gouna, and more. All of the previously mentioned are not just unique places with equally excellent companionship but must also be done by divers from all over the world for their rich aquatic life and multicolored coral formations and species.
Last but not least, if you are into a desert adventure through fields of sand and a warm campfire under a starry sky, the Sinai Peninsula and the deserts of the Red Sea is the place to go.
For solo women travelers, avoiding too-tight clothes, keeping the shoulders and knees covered, and avoiding necklines would be better. Men should also opt for decent attire. – Wearing shorts is not very common in Egypt, and dressing decently is a form of respect for the local culture. – The metro in Cairo has separate wagons for women, which are more comfortable, especially at rush hour when the wagons are full. During Egypt travel, women should give full attention to people walking in the street during the tour for safety reasons only.
Many travelers enjoy their stay in Egypt without learning a single Arabic word or phrase. However, it is never a bad idea to learn a few words and phrases from the native language of your destination, in this case, Arabic, such as words that express greeting or thanks. If you are planning to visit some places other than popular tourist destinations, it is recommended that you learn some Arabic phrases. If you cannot do that, don’t worry, Egyptians are usually friendly and happy to help and assist you at any time, especially for foreigners, tourists, language barriers, and everything.
